After a moment's thought, Xie Yuyao used the space as cover and followed.
Upon reaching the summit, the man pulled out a map from his pocket to find the route.
A light rain suddenly began to fall. The man cursed under his breath and continued walking in the rain.
He walked and stopped intermittently for an hour, until he stopped in front of a cliff. After looking around again, he slipped into a hidden cave.
We can't follow along anymore.
Xie Yuyao flashed into the space, changed into clean clothes, and then stared intently at the cave entrance from the spatial perspective, waiting for the man to come out.
Inside the cave, the man took out a flashlight and turned it on.
call out!
The man heard a whooshing sound and quickly dodged to avoid it.
Under the direct beam of the flashlight, a python as thick as an arm was spitting out red silk, its green eyes fixed on the invading enemy.
The man pulled out a gun and fired several shots.
Hearing several gunshots from inside the cave, Xie Yuyao tensed up.
Shooting animals, or killing people?
The man had already killed the python. He stepped over the snake's body and walked to the deepest part of the cave, where he felt and tapped on the cave walls with his hands.
Boom!
A dull thud was heard, and a heavy stone door on the left side of the wall slowly slid open.
The man, with a joyful expression, took the flashlight and went inside.
Inside was a space of about ten square meters. In the left corner was an old tin box with a large lock on it. The whole box was covered in rust.
The man glanced at it once, then looked away, walked to the opposite corner, pressed a certain uneven spot on the wall, and a mechanism on the ground opened, revealing a long stone staircase.
The man walked up the steps for nearly three minutes and saw several more metal boxes, but he ignored them again.
Turn on the switch from the hidden corner, and the plaster peels off, revealing a large bronze door.
After pushing open the door, the man's gaze became intense and infatuated, and he burst into laughter.
We finally found it!
With these things, they not only had ample funds to flee overseas, but also retained a considerable amount of wealth.
Then we can live a safe and prosperous life abroad!
The man wanted to hide some things while no one was around, but as soon as he stepped in with one leg, he remembered the terrible consequences of breaking the rules and had to pull back.
He paced back and forth at the door, scratching his head and ears. After a long while, he reluctantly turned back.
After making sure all the mechanisms were closed, he walked out of the cave and left in the rain.
Xie Yuyao waited an extra fifteen minutes to make sure the person wouldn't return. Only then did she spray insecticide, put on shoe covers and gloves, and approach the cave entrance with an umbrella.
Turn on the outdoor smart lights, and the cave is instantly as bright as day.
The entire cave reeked of blood, and a gruesomely dead python blocked her path. She covered her nose, jumped over the snake's body, and followed the muddy footprints left by the man, easily finding the cave's cliff face.
After a series of knocks, a loud bang was heard, and the stone door opened.
She quickly found the first tin box, but the footprints did not lead towards the box, so it was clear that it was not the man's target.
She ignored the box and followed the footprints to find the mechanism on the ground, then went down the steps to the bronze door.
She took out a wooden gun from her spatial storage and cautiously pushed open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
In the very center of the stone house was a huge pile of bricks made of gold, neatly stacked, which almost blinded her.
Even if she came from a wealthy family, it was just numbers in her bank account; she had never seen so much gold before!
Just when she thought it was a treasure house, she was surprised to find that there was a dungeon behind the gold bricks, containing hundreds of large boxes.
Gold and silver jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, antique books...
Xie Yuyao picked up a jade bracelet, examined it under the light, and easily recognized it as a top-grade imperial glass jade.
As she put down the jade bracelet, she couldn't help but chuckle softly.
So this is what it feels like to become rich overnight!
The thick layer of dust on these items indicates that they have been hidden for many years.
The man with the gun got the map, but didn't touch any of the treasure inside; he was definitely just a vanguard.
These jewels will soon be available to a second group of people.
Thinking of this, she quickly put everything into her spatial storage and turned to leave.
As she passed the few boxes at the front that served as decoys, she waved her hand and simply took them all.
As we stepped outside the cave, it was already dark, and the rain continued incessantly.
She put on her raincoat and went down the mountain as fast as she could in the direction she had come from.
We've already wasted so much time; if we don't go back soon, it'll be dark.
As she approached the foot of the mountain, she took out the packed bedding from her spatial storage, wrapped it in several waterproof bags, and carried it on her back as she rushed down the main road.
Just as I reached the main road, a bicycle sped towards me through the rain, and it looked like we were about to collide!
My body reacted faster than my brain, and in an instant, I darted to the side of the road.
Zhao Honghui was rushing home in the rain when suddenly a figure rushed down the mountain path. In the nick of time, he braked sharply and made a big drift.
Seeing the other person dodge to the side of the road with lightning speed, his pupils constricted, and suspicion arose in his heart.
Comrade, are you alright?
A familiar voice came from behind her, and Xie Yuyao suddenly looked up. It was him!
Zhao Honghui, who was wearing a raincoat, was stunned when he saw the face of the person who was also wearing a raincoat.
"Yaoyao? It's you?"
"I...I'm rushing back to the educated youth compound..." Xie Yuyao was panting, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Fortunately, Zhao Honghui didn't ask any more questions. "Get in the car!"
The roads were muddy and difficult to walk on in the rain, and Xie Yuyao was afraid of falling, so she held tightly to his clothes.
Zhao Honghui tensed up instantly, exhaled heavily, and the heat dissipated into the rainwater along his collar.
On the way, with rain streaming down their faces, the two kept their mouths shut and didn't say a word.
By the time we arrived at the educated youth compound, it was completely dark.
Zhao Honghui stopped his bicycle. "Hurry up and go inside, don't catch a cold."
Seeing that Xie Yuyao hesitated to speak, he said, "I'll come back to find you later."
"good."
As soon as Xie Yuyao stepped into the courtyard, Yang Shumei came to greet her with an umbrella. "Why did you take so long? Go back inside and change your clothes!"
"I found a place to take shelter from the rain, which made me late," she lied.
"Uncle Jiefang and the others went back first. I made some pork, corn, and cabbage dumplings. How about we have dumplings for dinner?"
"Okay, make more." Xie Yuyao paused, then said, "I ran into Zhao Honghui on the way; he'll be coming back later."
Yang Shumei joked, "Don't worry, there's plenty."
After chatting for a few minutes, Xie Yuyao went back to her room to change her clothes and took a dry towel to dry her hair.
When she came out of the main room, Yang Shumei's ginger and brown sugar water was already cooked.
"Hurry up and drink a bowl to ward off the cold."
Xie Yuyao held the bowl, blowing on the steaming hot liquid, pondering how to tell Zhao Honghui.
Unbeknownst to her, at the same time, a beam of flashlight light appeared on the mountain where the treasure was hidden, and the man had returned.
